Coping With Grief and Loss: A Conversation with Brittney Moses

From breakups, to losing a loved one, we all experience grief and loss.

I was honored to share my personal and professional experiences with grief with my friend Brittney Moses. She’s the creator of the wildly popular Christian Mental Health instagram account and her Faith & Mental Wellness Podcast is leading the way with some truly meaningful conversations that the faith community is in desperate need of.

In this conversation, Brittney and I get REAL, and very vulnerable. I share about losing a loved one to suicide 10 years ago, and what my process of coping and recovery looked like. I also share my experiences working with clients dealing with the different types of grief and what to expect in your own grief process. Most importantly, we talk about ways to heal from loss and the hope that is available even in the midst of grief.
